When to change clothing sizes?
tiredmama replied to beachgurl84's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
For me, every 15 pounds seems to be when I am ready to go down a pants size. Shirts are less predictable. Thrift stores have been super helpful since I don't want to invest much money until I reach my goal! -
185 today! Scale moved but in the wrong direction- hopefully it is mostly bloating!
-
182 today. Was at a very stressful meeting yesterday and ate too many cookies- didn't show up on the scale this morning but I will need to be extra careful this week!

Toddler mom considering sleeve surgery
tiredmama replied to Mega_100's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
If someone can help you full-time for the first week (when you can't drive and may have some pain), you will be fine! -

When did your hair loss start?
tiredmama replied to EllieMae's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It got really bad for me around 4 months post surgery. I am not losing as much now (6 months out) but haven't noticed re-growth yet either. -
I am in too! Goal is 177.

At my six month check up I was told one cup of coffee per day is ok.

I had my 6 month check-up and was surprised to learn that my A1C (5.9) has not changed at all since before surgery so I am still pre-diabetic. I have lost 54 pounds so this really surprised and disappointed me. Anyone have insight why this might occur? Thanks.

Iron serum was 35 (normal is 35-155) . Is serum glucose the same as serum insulin? My serum glucose was normal- 82.

Good for you for recognizing the problem- most of us have foods we just can't keep around because they are too tempting. For me, it's junky candy like twizzlers- once I allow myself to eat one, I can't stop thinking about them. Much easier for me to ban them from my house!

I am seriously craving diet Coke!
tiredmama replied to Luvin_Life125's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Could you buy a decaf diet coke and let it go flat? -
Stalled and starting to worry
tiredmama replied to Essence46's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Stalls suck! I try to end them by increasing my water intake and being extra careful about waiting 2 hours minimum between meals and snacks- I can easily backslide into light grazing and those calories add up. Hang in there! -
Congrats to everyone who had met the challenge goal or is getting close or making progress- holiday season is an especially hard time to stay on track so I think we all deserve an extra pat on the back.

Try a squatty potty - amazon sells them. -
7 mos out, failing horribly... ????
tiredmama replied to Get.Waisted's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am almost 5 months out and finding it hard to stay on track lately too. Bored of my "go to" healthy foods and feeling less restriction at this point. I am trying to up my exercise to compensate for being less disciplined with eating. -
188 this week. Sweet tooth got the best of me.

189 yesterday

Can I still join? My weight on 11/7 was 192. My goal for the end of the challenge is 185. thanks!

Half way there.....what keeps you motivated?
tiredmama replied to tomi71's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
great thread! I definitely find it's harder to keep losing now that I am 4.5 months post-surgery. I have to just remind myself to stick the fundamentals- protein first, no drinking before or after food, and (hardest for me) no grazing! -
190. Goal achieved!
